Explicitly not, in most versions. Sorcerers use Cha for spells in 3.5, Rogues use it for some skill rolls. There are also other examples, of course. 4.0 sees even more implementation, with specific Rogue builds, Sorcerer builds, Warlock builds and so on...

A. Who the **** players 2nd Edition anymore?
B. 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and Pathfinder 3.5 do not have any requirements for any class when it comes to ability scores. Paladins gain some benefit for having a Charisma score, but it is better served funneling into your Wisdom for spells (Unless you are really dying for healing and for some reason don't have a Cleric to use Turn Undead)

true for many 3.0/3.5 builds (though others just keep it at 14 for 4th level spells)

however, pathfinder paladins use charisma for spellcasting and since you've got good will saves anyway, wis becomes a total dump stat. hell, it's worse than int (which at least gives you some skillpoints)

The tomato is a fruit. Scientifically speaking, everything(in the world of what we consider fruits and vegtables) for the most part is a fruit unless it's something else specifically. Vegetable is 100% a culinary term, not a scientific one (ie think fruiting body vs vegetating body)

The tomato is the edible, often red fruit/berry of the nightshade Solanum lycopersicum,[1][2] commonly known as a tomato plant.
While it is botanically a fruit, it is considered a vegetable for culinary purposes.The fruit is rich in lycopene, which may have beneficial health effects.

I don't know where you got that image, but it contradicts itself.
The tomato is a fruit, this is fact, it isn't up for debate.
Tomato fruit is classified as a berry. As a true fruit, it develops from the ovary of the plant after fertilization, its flesh comprising the pericarp walls. The fruit contains hollow spaces full of seeds and moisture, called locular cavities.

But seriously, vegetables are the tasty roots of a plant. A potato is a vegetable, and so is a beet. A fruit is the reproductive part of the plant that holds all the seeds and is delicious because it wants those seeds to have all those nutrients close by. Apparently america made tomatoes vegetables for tax reasons in some court case, so that's probably where the confusion arose.
